"is it safe?"........ in my opinion that depends mostly on a quality holster and a personal commitment to train, but I believe that applies to all modes of carry. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk3 points

If your gun is going off when holstered, you should replace it. Your carry gun should only fire when the trigger is pulled. A few guns can go off without this, those are not safe to carry and usually involve antiques, home-grown-gunsmithing, worn out weapons, or other similar things none of which are safe to carry loaded in any way whatsoever. If you gun does not fire when holstered, you should be fine no matter what part of your body (and everyone else's) it sweeps while being worn. I pocket carry... when I sit down, the muzzle points at other people in some places. Its almost impossible not to have the business end point at someone (include yourself) sometimes if you are moving around being a human. Bend over too far IWB and there it is, near horizontal to the ground... pointing at who knows what. Life happens. So that means it is your responsibility to ensure the gun can't fire when holstered and in its carry location on your body. This means working it out... practice draw / fire / reholster. Impact test it. Unload it and prove to yourself that it is safe. IMHO that should be done for every gun, every holster, every change in location, etc. You gotta know its safe.2 points

Who knows what their motivations are. Could be a rehearsal, could be a reconnaissance for others or general planning, or it could just be to jackasses being jackasses. Arab kids are as immature, and prone to do dumb things as much as American kids. The act itself certainly justifies a very thorough investigation by TBI, or even the FBI to see if there is a plan for a larger shooting, or they have any connections to something. I had a Saudi in one of my classes last summer. He was a smart, polite, and very well reasoned individual. But we butted heads when discussing the Kafala System used for migrant labor when it came up in class for some reason. He felt it was completely justified and things like the employee holding the workers passport, their work conditions, and other things that we look at as deplorable were just part of the process needed to keep their economy going. I'd imagine it would be similar to how a slave holder might feel in America circa 1850. A lot of these foreign students are just here for the classes and will go back home after getting a degree, not the children of immigrants who came to America to put down roots. So, they have a lot of the home country mentalities. As it pertains to Arab's, I've found the females are easier to socialize with as their perspectives are being opened being outside of the male dominated home, versus the males who are finding themselves in a position of having their perspectives challenged and tend to get defensive over it.2 points

I've been carrying a pistol AIWB in a Dale Fricke Archangel since 2011ish. No issues here. Driving a car, having a surgery, taking the stairs, and AIWB carry are all safe. They each have risks that need to be addressed individually. Train more and you will be GTG.2 points

Pretty great read here for someone looking into AIWB carry (nws) https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?120-AIWB-%28Appendix-Carry%29 Been carrying this way for about 3 years. It does demand absolute commitment to safety and awareness, IMO.2 points

I have a lot of interest in WWII and have watched a ton of documentaries, most of which has been around for a long time. I came across a new one on Netflix streaming that was awesome - thought I would share so those interested can see it. At Netflix, search on 'WWII from Space'1 point

I tried it once, wasn't comfortable for me, dug into my leg when sitting. I carry on my side @ 3 o'clock. Comfortable standing, walking, sitting, laying, whatever. And, of course, keep my finger, or anything else away from the trigger.1 point

No one said the UN was taking our guns... If you read the post, you'd understand this is to block weapons trade across borders and create a global registry to track guns and gun owners. Now, if we're all students of history, we could assume that registration leads to confiscation. I won't stick my head in the sand an hope for the best on any gun control, especially global gun control being written by the Socialists International and Communists at the UN.

So far, that isn't happening in our schools and colleges lately, nor by a lot of politicians. So that said, the second Amendment could disappear in a blink if folks are educated and propagandized to be against it. Just read that DSA article I linked above and how they view the 2A and what they're teaching the Democratic Socialists of America subscribers and card carrying members. For now, I feel as long as we can keep the anti-2A majority of our Democratic Socialists of American aka Democrats and Progressive RINO Republicans from having a majority rule in congress, we'll be safe. But power shifts back and forth, so anything could happen in the next few elecctions.1 point

I just got my Salvo a few weeks ago too. Be sure and try the winchester subsonic loads. It's super quiet and fun although it doesn't cycle the action on my benelli. I feel like it is too long in 12" configuration for my 24" benelli. I plan on ordering an 8" rod kit to try.1 point

Well the Sheriff made a comment about the "black life's matter" which ended with him saying "cop life's matter" . Needless to say said Sheriff's comment wasn't appreciated by the local spokesman for the BLM movement. Said Sheriff's now been accused of politicizing the incident. Go figure all this talk about killing police by black agitators and what happens when a Sheriff whose had a Deputy murdered is plain spoken in his response?1 point

Part of the fun is trying new things! Go to a range that has a variety to rent, Nashville Armory is nice. Rent different ones, unless you get a super magnum revolver and don't hold it firmly you will be fine. I had always heard the .44magnum was heavy recoiling and all that. Then my buddy got one as a gift, a Ruger Super Blackhawk 7 1/2". He let me shoot it and while it did have some recoil it was VERY fun! Me personally, I don't care for shooting .22lr much anymore, part of shooting for me is the sound and recoil, 9mm minimum. Worst thing that could happen is you don't like it and go back to your .221 point

I've researched it and decided against that mode of carry.1 point

I have tried a lot of different carry methods and positions. I have a sack full of holsters that I never use any more. I have never tried appendix carry. My stomach muscles are too large. If it works for you then it's no a bad way to carry. It's easy to access and easy to protect (retain). I carry IWB at 3 o'clock with a BUG inside my vest or in my pocket.1 point

Might not be if you have concerns about. I appendix carry a J-frame revolver. I feel safe doing that, but wouldn’t do it with a semi-auto. The argument comes into play when you have those that don’t think a firearm can discharge unless you pull the trigger. If you believe that; carry on. If you think any mechanical devise can fail; you might want to consider your specific set-up.1 point

LOL. Ain't it the truth? :pleased: Excellent advice. Yes...and No...But there is inherent danger in carrying a firearm period. I've carried appendix daily for 15+ years. I am very cognizant of what I am am doing when reholstering. But that holds true whether appendix, strong side, or crossdraw. How does that saying go? "We should be fast to draw, but hesitant in reholstering". I've seen several gunshot wounds to lower extremities (legs) from careless reholstering....fingers on trigger, clothing caught up in the trigger guard. Inattentive "speed reholstering", no matter position carried, can lead to disastrous results. When I am reholstering my Glock 19 I tend to somewhat lean back averting the muzzle away from my manberries. It's not an exaggerated motion or anything, and is ingrained into what I do. In my experience in ECQC, FOF, and weapon retention training and classes, I've found the appendix position to work best for me. As far as comfort goes, I've found a purpose designed holster to work best. I am wearing a Dale Fricke Archangel at the moment and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. I also have a Phlster holster for my 9mm Shield. Both of these were designed with appendix carry in mind. They allow a small amount of movement laterally when sitting which helps where comfort is concerned, yet the grip remains constant and readily accessible. I carry between the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. It works well for me and my body-type. Some will argue that a double action mechanism handgun is preferred for safety reasons. I can't fault their position. It's a choice we each have to make. I'm good with mine. btw...there's several of us in the Knoxville area that carry appendix. :cool: http://dalefrickeholsters.com/product/archangel-appendix-carry/ http://www.phlster.com/#!store/c22711 point

In my mind, that isn't trolling for a sucker. The proper description would be dishonest scumbags looking to take advantage of folks who are less informed than them. I like what my buddy Bill said the other day, 'Character is how you treat people that are at a lower level than you, whether lower power, a subordinate, or someone with less knowledge than you." All of us are less informed at times. I simply have no respect for taking advantage of others.1 point
